DWIH New York - German Center for Research and Innovation

Situated beside the East River, DWIH New York – German Center for Research and Innovation connects German research institutes with New York’s academic and business communities. Programs span technology transfer, academic partnerships, and innovation workshops — all designed to foster transatlantic exchange. Career guidance and funding briefings for researchers also fall under its purview.

At the core of Turtle Bay, the center occupies space inside 871 United Nations Plaza, a landmark address that puts it minutes from midtown’s research hubs. Public lectures and networking events rotate through the calendar, offering chances to meet visiting German scientists. Collaborative projects between labs on both sides of the Atlantic get matched here.

With a focus on mobility and visibility, the nonprofit hosts delegations looking to launch joint ventures in biotech or clean energy. Offered free of charge, many briefings require advance reservation; call *i>(212) 339-8606*i to confirm seats.

To reach the center, grab directions via the maps listing. Once you’re walking past the iconic UN tower, the entrance is straightforward. A mid-block stop for coffee nearby pairs nicely with any visit.
